To strengthen the Brotherhood, the Indonesian Embassy in Phnom Penh Holds Basic Training on Tilawatil Quran.
The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Phnom Penh, Vietnam conducted training in the basics of Tajweed and recitation for a number of Muslims in Cambodia. The Tilawatil Quran training was conducted 4 times and held every two weeks, starting at the end of November 2020 and finishing in early January 2021. The trainers are from the Indonesian Embassy.
In a statement issued on January 7, the Indonesian Embassy in Phnom Penh said that this activity aimed at strengthening brotherhood with Cambodia. The training is also an important means of Indonesia's socio-cultural diplomacy efforts as well as a promotion of moderate and progressive Islam in Indonesia. This cannot be separated from Cambodian Muslims who view Indonesia as an older brother who has a lot of experience, especially in the field of Quran recitation.
Remembering that the medium of communication which was used during the training is Indonesian language, the Tilawatil Quran training is also an effective means of expanding the learning and use of Indonesian language in Cambodia.
Endek Balinese fabrics are increasingly worldwide. This fabric is one of the raw materials for the design of the spring / summer 2021 collection of the famous French fashion house, Christian Dior Couture. A signing of the Letter of Intent between the Bali Provincial Government and Christian Dior Couture took place on Friday (8/1). This was conducted virtually by Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster representing the Bali Provincial Government and Marie Champey representing Christian Dior.
The signing of the collaboration to promote traditional Balinese cultural expressions stems from the wishes of Christian Dior, who is a world-class fashion house, by sending a letter to the Indonesian Ambassador to France, Arrmanatha Christiawan Nasir last year. The letter is about the desire to use Endek Bali fabrics as a fashion trend for spring / summer 2021.
